Ed. Register-1 Trough the kindness
of our principal county correspondent
with the Department of Agriculture,
have the August report on the condi
| ton of growing crops and on freigh
rates of Transports ton companies; also
the report Of the Statistician. Th'
condition of crops shows that very
heavy reduction has taken place in the
national average in the last month
owing to the decline in condition o.
corn from drouth in the central corn
region in the valleys of the Ohio and
Missouri, where two-thirds of the crop
is grown and the commercial supply IS
procured. The averaged is now so .5, in
stead of 81 Z, last month. In my opin-
ion, the next report will show a much
greater falling off. especially in the
west. No report yet on wheat, as tits
too early to obtain results of threshing.
Your writer wishes to give D few
thoughts i'm reply to questions given
by your correspondent at Goodwater.
My recollections run back forty years,
and during that period we have been
visited occasionally by drouths, and in
fact we read in the bible of the same
which occurred in the days of Jacob
and his twelve sons. However, do
not pretend to tell the gentleman the
cause of drouths, but do not believe
clearing off the forests is the cause. We
had greater drouth here in this coun-
try about thirty years ago than we
have had since that time, while at that
time (say 1854 there was plenty of for
est all over the country. Yet the
drouth came all the same. But what
I want to say is how to meet the
drouth when it comes. The year above
mentioned Gf my memory is right it
was in 1853 or '54) my father was then
in the vigor of life and had plenty of
boys, and the boys had to work, too.
His corn land was broke early and
deep, and by the middle of March we
began to plant corn, and by the first of
April it was all planted, and the order
was deep plowing and the result was
a large crop of heavy corn. while else
where it was almost failure. That
rule has been observed closely by N.Y.
self, and at this writing / feel safe in
saying shall realize a good average
crop of corn. Early planting insures
our crops against the ravages of insects,
which we did not have in my boyhe cd
days.
think it poor logic for US to under
take to stay or prevent drouth. We
might as well attempt to prevent cy-
clones, earthquakes, waterspouts, cloud
burstings, thunder and lightning,
cloudy and fair weather. But let us
try TO meet such calamities as they
come. We cannot grease the gudgeons
of the universe, neither can we say
to the South or North winds. Blow;
but we can say when the sky is red in
the west, Fair.
Well, for that cheat. Yes, wheat Is
the origin of cheat, but once the SEED
is grown plant 1t and 1t will produce
cheat. I once knew q man fold MIR.
Brock, of Brooks Creek, in Washing
ton county, who told me heonce plant
ed, or sowed, four acres to cheat, ana
the result was fine crop or cheat. l

Turn Out the Brawlers.

The old soldiers of Carlisle have hon
ored themselves aud their organization
by entering a solemn protest against
the rawlings of the Tuttles and the
Fairchilds. AT a meeting of Captain
Coldwell Post. No. 2Ol, held on Thurs
day last, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the members of this post
view with regret the attempt by certain un-
scrupulous political demagogues to debase
the G. A. r. by converting 1t into political
machine. The G. A. r. is social organiza-
ton composed OF eX-soldiers Of all political
creeds, formed for the purpose Of preserving
and strengthening the fraternal feelings
formed amidst the smoke Of battle, to per-
petuate the memory and history Of their fall
len comrades, to assist former comrades in
arms who need their help, to aid In the care
and profession Of widows and orphans Of de-
ceased soldiers, and to encourage the spread
of universal liberty. equal rights and justice
to all men, and not for the purpose Of sus-
tanning any political party. Unfortunately
it includes within its numbers few men who
entered the army as they entered every other
occupation-for personal gain, and these
men are willing to prostitute the whole or
ganization to accomplish their own selfish
purposes and gain notoriety.
RESOLVED, That we do not justify the q.
A. r. men who at Wheeling, Va, so far for
got their manhood as to allow themselves
to be used as political foot balls.
B. X. GOODYEAR, Post Commander.
Attest: J. b. HAyERsTICK, Adjutant.
There can he no mistake about the
meaning of these resolutions. The
Carlisle Post thoroughly appreciates
the danger to which it's great organiza-
ton has been exposed by Tuttle and
Fairchild and their hot-headed admir-
ers. So long as the Grand Army shall
remain a fraternal and charitable or
ganiza,ion there is nc one who will got
admire and honor it. but the moment
1t shall cast it's lot with the brawlers
of partisan politics its disintergration
must begin. A few more insane utter
ances from Fairchild and Tuttle, a few
more repetitions of the Wheeling incl
dent and the fate of the Grand Army
will be sealed.
The soldiers of Carlisle have taken
the only step they could take to halt
the unscrupulous political dema-
gogues," and where they have led
others can and should follow. This is
no time for sectional hatred. No one
but the brawlers desire to reopen the
sores which woul'i have long ago been
healed forever but for them. North
and South are bound together by the
bonds of good feeling and business
prosperity, and only the partisan poll
ticians, who hesitate at nothing to gain
their ends, would have 1t otherwise.
1t is time that all who have the well
fare of the Grand Army at heart should
understand this. The brawlers who
would lead it to destruction should be
squelched so summari!y that they will
not dare to show their heads again.
The soldiers of Carlisle have sounded
the advance, and have hoDored them
selves by doing so. Turn the brawlers
out Philddei1,hia Timer.

A. M. e. Church Notes

The Annual Conference meets at
Chicago, about the middle Of August
next.
The entertainment given on last Tues
day evening by the stewardesses Of st.
James Church, was we'll attended and
the financial result very satisfactory.
The services Of the A. M. Il. church
for the last two or three weeks has been
exceedingly full Of interest. There has
been several accessiors to the church
lately.
There are already measures being
taken and plans devised by which the
A. NJ. E. church can secure or retain
their present pastor, Rev, G., S. Jacobs,
for another year.
Mr.. S. G. Walden left on Tuesday
evening to attend the District Confer
ence, at Aurora, ILL.,, which convened
there on Wednesday the 18th inst. He
is expected home to-day.
Mrs. Rev. G. S. Jacobs continues very
poorly indeed. She is a great sufferer,
but she bears her affection with christi
an fortitude and patience. We truly
hope she may yet recover.
Mr.. John shafer, who has been con-
fined to his bed for several weeks by
illness, joined the A. NJ. 3. church and
was baptised last Wednesday afternoon
in said church, by the pastor, Rev. G. S.
Jacobs.

The Installation .

Sunday, May 18th, the day chosen for
the formal installation of Rev. VIM.
Gray, late Of Denver, Col, as pastor of
Pilgrim Baptist Church, was one long to
be remembered.
Bright and cherry was the sunshine,
delightfully."- cool the air, all nature APP
parently lending its aid to make the
occasion an suspicious one. At three
o'clock the church was filled to it's ut
most capacity and many went away not
being able to gain admission.
The exercises opened with the joyous
anthem, 81 am glad" by the st. James
church choir of ten voices, under the
direction of their amiable organist, Mrs.
F. M. Williams. Rev. G. S. Jacobs then
read the scriptures and offered the
PRAYER, bespeaking Gods special provi-
dence for the pastor and church. Rev,
IS. p. Anderson had been announced to
preach the installation sermon, but q
telegram furnished the information that
he could not come. Rev. III. G. Woods,
Of the Woodland Park church, then
preached a most excellent sermon filed
with sanctifying gems Of thought. He
was followed with the closing pray by
Rev. w. h. Cost5n, of Minneapolis.
Miss Ella Smith then sang with pleasing
effect Not a Sparrow Falleth." Mad.
Alice Mink Cooley playing the organ
accompaniments. Rev. R. Hickman
then cordially extended to the new
pastor the hand relationship. The ex-
ercises we're interspersed with choice
musical selections by the A. NJ E.
church choir.
Rev. Vim. Gray comes with an estab-
lished reputation as a minister and a
record as a worker. and Pilgrim church
has reason to feel proud with such a
synonym of strength in her pulpit. The
services throughout the day were well
attended. The collections amounted to
39l 81.

A correspondent for the Minneapolis
Tribune writing of Queen Kapiolani,
says:
II suppose it is we'll enough to recog.
nize crowned heads who may visit us,
but to go into ecstacies over woman
who is cross between the negro and a
mulatto, because she is queen, seems
like farce; but then it is characteristic
of Americans to do So"
A queen is queen, just as gentle
man is gentleman or lady a lady,
whether blue, black or white, or cross
between Venetian blind and a window
shutter. 1t is the Queen we honor, not
her color. Is Queen Victoria entitled
to honor because she is a Queen, or, be-
cause she is white? AS Wendell
Phillips said in his memorable eulogy of
Toussaint L'Overtour: "You read his
tory with your prejudices, not with your
eyes," Just SO with this correspondent
and men of his ilk.

The president makers are hard at
work as usual, and, as usual, turning out
bad jobs. Thus far the strongest Re-
publican teams are Blaine and Fairchild
or Sherman and Hawley. There is al
ways some surprise in store when the
convention is held, and it will be safe to
bet neither one of these combinations
will win. The Republicans have learn
ed a lesson from their recent defeat and
in '9S will make no mistakes. They

According to the political prognosti-
cations of Congressman Robert Smalls,
of South Carolina, we are to have solid
South in 'ss. He says the Republicans
will not get single Southern State in
the next presidential election. We
hope his predictions will not prove true.
Mr.. Sherman seems to think he can
draw considerable strength from the
South if he gets the nomination, and
there is no.doubt that, with fair election
several Southern States would be Re-
publican.

This is a great Country! Jennie Bow

This is a great Country Jennie Bow
man (white) a servant girl, was MUIR
derously assaulted by burglars, and
subsequently died. Turner and Patter-
son, (colored), were arrested, charged
with the crime. Turner confessed, after
escaping the violence Of a mob that
swarmed the city of Louisville, and with
in three days was tried and convicted
to be hung July LIST, and if his chances
for heaven were as good as they are that
lie will be called upon to dance on no.

time, Tom Crittenden, (white), who de-
liberately, with malice aforethought,
without provocation, shot to death Rose
Moseby, (colored), few years ago, was
set free. Again we say this is a great
country-for one-sided justice. We
hear some high-faluting theories about
christianity morality, humanity, brother
